Pad Options

[jforget1]

Would these larger pads be compatible with the PC 7424? They are a little larger and may save time or should I stay with the 6.5" pads?

I would say that might be a lot of pad to work with a PC7424! Would not recommend it.

Ok thanks for the advice, is the 7424 a good option for someone looking to do some side work, maybe 2-3 jobs a week. I have PC wodworking tools and have been happy with them. I have a 10" craftsman random obital I bought about a year ago. The PC seems to get a lot of recommendations though.

PC7424 would be perfect for you...I have had mine for about 2-3 years. I love it, very light weight and I get great results with it. I like the fact I can put the carpet brushes on it, the 4" foam pads for smaller jobs, and then the 6.5" pads for my vehicle. Carpet brushes work great in the house, as well as the car. Not to mention the great work it does in the shower on the tiles!:p

Awesome, looks like I will be adding that to the mix soon, thanks for the help. I realized as I was detailing my truck over the weekend, I could this and make a little money to help out, I am pretty good at it.

I have the Meguiars Gold Class liquid wax and I think it is called No. 9 buffing compound. What should I invest in next. I was looking at the Poorboys kits.

What you need next depends on what you will be doing... If you are looking for a sealant that would be compatible for many different jobs I would say Wolfgang. Doing leather work... if for clients in bulk, maybe Lexol, if for yourself maybe Pinnacle....

I have been looking at the packages here. The prices are good as well.

Although a little more $$ if you can afford it try and go with the
E2K kit plus i think you get 10% off the price..

I have looked at the Edge 2000 kits, do you feel they are a better option. Has anyone used the Wave versiom is that a good option. How does the quick connect work, it looks like the hole goes straight through, doesn't that adapter come close to the paint?

Edge pads are consistently getting rave reviews. The wave patterns aren't really that different than the regular ones on a PC, but I have heard success with a rotary because it helps decrease the transfer of heat. The quick connect is like a rachet and socket. It will not get close to the paint, it is designed to never get past a certain point so there is no chance of it accidentally messing up your paint.

Cool I think that is the way I will go for my first setup. Looked at the $99 kit from AG.

A couple of us here are considering that set up. I for sure am going to get it within the next few weeks. You won't be disappointed.
